1-bit flash code for LEDs May 18, 2009

Posted by flat20 in : Uncategorized , 2comments

I’m waiting for my girlfriend’s brother’s wonderful LED device to arrive but in the meantime I’ve prepared myself for it by creating some tiny 16×24 Flash effects which I hope can be reproduced with LEDs. I coded the classic demo rotozoom and fire effects with 2 colours and some cheap dithering added on top.



Added a new fire with proper Floyd-Steinberg dithering. Now I just need to fix the OpenGL code for FingerPlay.

Oh, and I need to update the blog with Mandy’s new design. Too much to do but not enough minerals..

A 45 minute mix March 24, 2009

When the cat’s away the mice run all over the decks and record a mix. My housemate was gone for a few days so I used his computer to record a mix in the front room. Please excuse the static noise in the beginning of it, but running a long cable from a rubbish mixer all the way through the house up to my friend’s computer has its downsides. Two actually, one being the static noise and the other being trying to rush to the toilet in the middle of the night without tripping on the cable and pissing yourself.

Check out the audio app towards the end of the video. I’ve had a lot of fun playing around with the Kaossilator but there would be so many more possibilities with the Siftables.

Update: Video of the music sequencer without the other stuff.

The Bulgarian January 18, 2009

Christmas and new years is over and I just came back from a crazy week in Sweden with nothing to show for it apart from a three day fever I came down with as soon as I got back to London. Three days in bed means three days wasted if you ask me, but at least I kept my head clear enough to crawl to the laptop, push play on winamp and make it back to bed again. What I’m trying to say is that I’m sorry for the lack of updates and I haven’t given up listening to music!

So, here’s one of my favorite producers, The Bulgarian. He’s got a quite identifiable crazy fidgety house sound, yet every one of his tracks seems so different from each other. Not sure how that works really, you better just listen for yourselves. Disfunktional Caterpillar is an all time favorite and the first of his tracks I heard. The bassline kills it!

Buy and sell used mp3 files December 12, 2008

With the debate about whether copying is actually theft still running hot, new startup Bopaboo, currently in private beta, dives right into it. Bopaboo provides a marketplace for its users to buy and sell used mp3’s.
They’re clearly aware of the challenges lying ahead of them and it’ll be interesting to see what the law the record labels has to say about this.
